Description
A panel of 31 breast cancer cell lines was tested for sensitivity to mTORC1 inhibitor everolimus and mTORC1/mTORC2 inhibitor PP242. Inhibitor concentrations for 50% survival fraction (SF50) were measured and SF50 less than one micro molar was considered sensitive. PIK3CA mutant cell lines were significantly more sensitive to both everolimus and PP242 than PIK3CA wild type cell lines. Apoptotic indicators and cell cycle analysis indicated that the mTOR inhibitors induced G1 arrest instead of apoptosis in the cell lines.
